Why does modprobe gives me an error in my OpenVZ VPS?

The command modprobe does not work in OpenVZ and all of the modules need to be loaded on the host node instead. The following modules are enabled by default on all OpenVZ nodes:

tun
ipt_mark
ipt_MARK
ip_gre
fuse
ipt_recent
ppp-compress-18
ppp_mppe
ppp_deflate
ppp_async
pppoatm
ppp_generic
xt_state
ip_conntrack
ipt_state
ipt_MASQUERADE
ipt_REDIRECT
iptable_nat
nf_nat
nf_conntrack_ipv4
iptable_mangle
iptable_filter
ipt_LOG
ipt_REJECT
ip_tables
nf_conntrack
xt_state
xt_owner
xt_length
